Kodiaq vRS!

[Nathanio]

Apparently it'll be the next vRS:

In place of the standard car’s selection of rather sedate engines, the vRS version is expected to be powered by a twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel unit. This 237hp engine from the VW Passat will power all four wheels through a DSG automatic gearbox and should help this high-riding Czech SUV sprint from 0-62mph in less than seven seconds with loads of ‘push you in the back’ grunt thanks to the twin turbos. - See more at: https://www.carwow.co.uk/news/skoda-kodiaq-suv-vrs-price-specs-release-date-3110#sthash.l32VmQXE.dpuf

 

Good specs and sounds different. 

 

Shame no Fabia or Citi-Go vRS models :(

Shame no manual as usual :(

I expect it will be badged Sportline like the Superb - more in keeping with the brand image.

If the vrs kodiaq happens with the twin turbo diesel I'm in!

Sorry, can't wait. I'll be getting the 132kW petrol and eventually tune it up to 162kW

Skoda's R&D chief confirmed it yesterday.

Sounded promising until they decided it would have the 2.0 bi tdi diesel. The 2.0 TSI 280 4x4 drivetrain as used in the Superb would have made a much more interesting VRS model.

£40K for a Skoda.

 

I'm out

[Rooted]

Surely available at £39,999.99 to save going up to the high VED.

Way of most things these days. You can spec a Kia Sorrento to over £42k for top spec.

Unfortunately since the £14k Octavia vRS the £/€ has tanked (was over 1.4 now 1.1), wages haven't tracked inflation and the emissions gubbins have increased prices.

ABT. They're making one.

Hope you've got deep pockets, not only for the purchase price, but also for the amount of fuel that it'll be drinking.

Yes that is my concern, my Octavia 2.0 tsi VRS is not cheap to run. Can get 40 mpg if sensible. But is there a price for fun ;)
